problem with XSLT tranformation using Xalan

[Ashay]

Hi,

 

I am very new to Xerces and Xalan.

I am using Xerces 2.1.0 and Xalan 1.4.0.

 

Based on one of the examples given on the Apache site, I wrote the below given simple code and got the following error message while transforming a XalanDocument.

I am getting -2 as a result of XalanTransformer::tranform() method.

 

Error msg:

Fatal Error at (file <unknown>, line 0, column 0): An exception occurred!
Type:RuntimeException, Message:The primary document entity could not be
opened. Id={null}
theResult = -2

 

Could someone give me pointers as to why this error is caused. A speedy reply would be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

 

The code:

**************************************************************************

// Use the Xerces DOM parser to create a DOM_Document.
#include <parsers/DOMParser.hpp>
#include <dom/DOM_Node.hpp>

DOMParser  theParser;
// You MUST instruct the Xerces DOMParser NOT to create a DOM_XMLDecNode
// in the DOM to represent the XML declaration. See "Limitations" below.
DOMParser::setToCreateXMLDeclTypeNode(false);
theParser.parse("foo.xml");
const DOM_Document theDOM = theParser.getDocument();

// Set up a XercesParserLiaison and use it to wrap the DOM_Document
// in a XalanDocument.
XercesDOMSupport   theDOMSupport;
XercesParserLiaison theParserLiaison(theDOMSupport);
XalanDocument* theDoc = theParserLiaison.createDocument(theDOM);

// Use the XalanDocument to create an XSLTInputSource object, which
// you can then use in a transformation.
XSLTInputSource  theInputSource(theDoc);

XSLTInputSource theXSLInput("foo.xsl");

XSLTResultTarget theOutput("foo.out");

XalanTranformer::intialize();
XalanTransformer theTransformer

int theResult =

theTransformer.transform(theInputSource,theXSLInput,theOutput);

cout << "theresult is: " << theResult ;
